Task 3 – Analyze Bicycle Collision Data
Task 3 – Analyze Bicycle Collision Data
Fehr & Peers will collect, map and analyze records of bicycle collisions from California Highway
Patrol reports filed in the Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS). We will
review reports from the past five years, create a GIS bicycle collisions database, and analyze the
collisions by several factors, such as location, crash type, parties involved, age, time of day, and
primary collision factor.
Based on this analysis, we will recommend safety improvements to existing roads, paths, and
other bicycle facilities. We will also recommend internal procedures that the City can undertake
to analyze collision data (regularity, department responsibilities, etc.), practices for conducting the
analysis (queries to conduct, procedures for identifying “hot spots,” practices for conducting
audits), and practices for information sharing (to assure that the data reaches the appropriate
internal people and identify which data can be posted for public consumption). This analysis will
also inform the education and enforcement components of the Plan.
Deliverable(s): Technical memorandum including analysis and GIS mapping of bicycle-vehicle
collision data, and recommendations for internal procedure on collision analysis practices.

Task 4 – Develop a Comprehensive Network of Bicycle Facilities
Task 4 – Develop a Comprehensive Network of Bicycle Facilities
Using the CCTA bicycle facility map for the City of Richmond as a starting point, Fehr & Peers will
perform field surveys, hold public meetings (see Task 11 below) and consult with the City staff
and advocacy groups and advisory committees to identify proposed future projects. The analysis
will include assessments of Class I paths, roadway types and conditions, collision history and risk
factors, traffic volumes and patterns and favored destination sites (such as schools, transit
facilities, employment centers, and shopping or recreation areas such as the waterfront and
Ohlone Greenway) and relationship to pedestrian needs.
Fehr & Peers will develop criteria to evaluate which areas of the City are the best candidates for
multi-use paths and which roads are the best candidates for Class II lanes and Class III routes.
The criteria will draw upon data collected through field surveys, public meetings, and meetings
with City staff, and could include roadway classification, traffic volumes, collision history and
attractors (such as public transit stations, job centers, schools, and shopping areas, parks and the
waterfront). These criteria will be organized by facility type to assist the City in identifying future
projects. Ranking this list and providing construction cost estimates will be performed under
Tasks 8 and 10.
Deliverable(s): Spreadsheet of proposed bicycle facilities.
Optional Task – Identification of Barriers
Drawing upon the information gathered, Fehr & Peers will identify current barriers to existing and
proposed bikeways and support facilities and the areas with the highest identified present or
prospective need for improvement to mitigate the barriers and enhance access. Examples of
barriers include freeway interchanges, limited waterfront access, a lack of secure bicycle parking
and intersection design. Based upon that assessment, we will develop up to four conceptual
level improvement plans to show appropriate countermeasures to identified barriers.
Deliverable(s): Memorandum identifying current barriers to bicycle safety and access along the
proposed bicycle network. Up to four site-specific conceptual level improvement plans will be
developed to show recommendations for improving access and safety in Richmond.

Task 6 – Design and Signage Standards
Task 6 – Design and Signage Standards
Bicycle and pedestrian planning continues to be an evolving process in the U.S. In recent years,
several innovative designs have emerged as effective treatments to calm traffic and improve road
safety. For example, innovative treatments such as Sharrows, colored bike lanes, back-in angled
parking, and the pedestrian HAWK signal have been tested and adapted for local application
throughout the U.S. Fehr & Peers will provide the City with information on new design treatments
for consideration. Based on feedback from City staff, we will develop a set of Design Guidelines
to include innovative bicycle treatments with graphics and specifications, as well as examples of
best practices.
Throughout this process we will be available to discuss various applications of innovative designs
that are not addressed in the Caltrans Highway Design Manual, AASHTO, and Manual on
Uniform Traffic Control Devices. We will develop user friendly materials for both private
developers and City staff to help ensure that bicyclists are routinely provided for in all new
construction and retrofit projects. Our demonstrated knowledge of design standards and
innovations both in California and throughout the United States positions us to provide sound,
flexible standards to assist City staff in the Plan implementation.
Fehr & Peers will also develop overall directional and destination signage standards that conform
with established norms in other similar communities such as Oakland, CA.
